The table below outlines the public involvement for the review process for Peach Bottom, Units 2 & 3.

Environmental Impact Statement

This supplement documents the NRC staff's review of the environmental issues at the Peach Bottom Nuclear Reactor, Units 2 & 3 in support of Exelon Generation Company's application for license renewal of that facility. The supplement was prepared in accordance with 10 CFR 51.71. This supplemental environmental impact statement includes the staff's analysis that considers and weighs the environmental effects of the proposed action, the environmental impacts of alternatives to the proposed action, and alternatives available for reducing or avoiding adverse impacts. It also includes the staff's recommendation regarding the proposed actions.

Safety Evaluation Report

The NRC staff reviewed the Peach Bottom license renewal application for compliance with the requirements of Title 10 of the Code of Federal Regulations, Part 54, "Requirements for Renewal of Operating Licenses for Nuclear Power Plants," and prepared this report to document its findings. The document was first issued in September 2002, as "Safety Evaluation Report with confirmatory items related to the license renewal of Peach Bottom Nuclear Reactor, Units 2 & 3". The report is available in ADAMS under accession number ML022590468.
